(OK)LCH makes no sense.

🤬 pure 100% RGB channels not equidistant on hue wheel

🤬 100% chroma doesn't max out the RGB channels, you must go above, fuck knows by how much

🤬 creating sufficient contrast text may fail for LCH

🤬 0%/ 100% lightness doesn't give black/ white without altering chroma

Also, a linear gradient from a maxed out single RGB channel value to black? Again, don't count on (OK)LCH codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/YPW

Single RGB channels maxed out are not equidistant on the hue wheel using (OK)LCH. 100% chroma values are not enough to get maxed out RGB channels, they produce poopy-looking colours. Formula-based sufficient contrast text may fail for LCH (though not for OKLCH too).0%/ 100% lightness doesn't produce black/ white for (OK)LCH without messing with the chroma values.screenshot of the gradient demo: at the 50% gradient point, we don't have the 50% value of the chaneel when using (OK)LCH
